Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 38:1-22. Verses 8-10, what’s the hardest part of this pandemic for me right now? How can I lay that before God today more honestly and urgently than ever before? By what sign will I know he’s heard me??
Ezekiel 35:1-15. Verses 4, 9, 12, 15. God unmistakably making himself known. How is the Covid crisis similarly getting the attention of millions? What is my church doing about it? My role?
I Corinthians 14:26-40. Verses 26 and 31 KJV, during this eventful spring, how have I experienced believers edifying one another? Together what have we learned about the Christian life and about being the church?
John 8:31-47. Verses 31-36, what does Jesus mean by the truth that makes free? What does he not mean? What bondage do I need him to free me from? What opportunity do I have to free others?
